Mu President Hannah Brown said. “We did some work on the house, but not too much because it is only temporary,” she said. The UK Phi Mu chapter started in Fall 2011, recruiting out of the Student Center and other Greek houses. “It was awesome for us to recruit out of our own house during recruitment,” Brown said. “Meeting in the Student Center wasn’t bad, but it’s nice to have our own place.” To obtain the house, Phi Mu headquarters in Peachtree City, Ga., spoke with Sigma Nu’s headquarters to work out a leasing system. Sigma Nu was suspended last school year, giving Phi Mu the ability to lease the house for the time being. “It’s been a couple years since all sororities have had a house on campus,” Jessica Usery, UK Panhellenic Council president, said. “With Alpha Phi and Phi Mu having houses this year, now all 13 sororities are on campus.” Although Phi Mu is leasing the Sigma Nu house, it is breaking ground on a permanent house this fall, which is scheduled to be finished in January 2014. The new house will be built on Rose Lane. “The sisters are extremely excited about it,” Brown said, “but the older girls are sad they won’t be able to live in it.” With the growth in Greek interest, Usery said the Greeks are expanding both in construction and population. “Our numbers this year at recruiment were higher than it’s ever been,” she said.

If a student is being stolen from, Monroe said safety is priority No. 1. “If you get in a situation where safety means complying, do so,” he said. “We don’t advocate you to chase after them.” Resources for students are SafeCats and OnDemand Bus, which can pick them up if needed. Monroe also recommends calling UK Police at 859-257-8573 for help getting an escort. “There are a lot of resources out there underutilized,” he said.

Recent spikes in theft crimes are related to students arriving on campus, UK Police Chief Joe Monroe said Thursday. Three robberies occured near campus in August, all involving UK students. Monroe said the No. 1 crime on campus is theft. “When students come back, crime increases because the population swells,” Monroe said. He also said the crime could be related to new students never living on their own before, thus not as worried about security. “There needs to be more law enforcement because it’s scary,” Caitlin 6| weekend timeout | 08.24.12
Dorton, a biology senior, said. Dorton lives in Newtown Crossing, near one of the robberies. “I am just worried for when the next robbery will be and where,” she said. Because of the rise in crime, Monroe said UK Police is increasing staff on the streets, as well as realigning schedules. “You’re going to see things pop up that are not the norm when school starts,” he said. Monroe said the best thing to do is be aware of surroundings. He said to use the buddy system at all times. One thing robbers look for is technology. “Don’t text and walk and don’t listen to your headphones when walking by yourself,” Monroe said. “Once you do either of those, you

The Christian Student Fellowship already holds the record for the World’s Largest Water Balloon Fight, and this year its plan is to go bigger. “Be ready to experience the best three minutes of your life,” staff member Derek King said. “It’s hard to put into words.” Students have been at CSF filling water balloons in nights leading up to the event. Human nutrition sophomore Taylor Pauley even faced the mid-afternoon heat to fill balloons. “I’m ecstatic. I can’t wait for when the clock strikes 11:55,” Pauley said. “It’s a highlight of my year.” According to a CSF press release, there will be 200,000 water balloons at the event. CSF has had 450 student leaders helping with the event, King said. Almost all of the guys will be on security and most will be sporting mowhawks.
“The best part is getting to tackle people as a security guard,” biology senior J.D. Hammer said. CSF does fully expect to beat its record crowd from last year. “I threw my bet in at 11,100 people,” Matt Dampier, associate campus minister, said. “We will definitely be north 10,000.” Dampier participated in the first ever CSF water balloon fight. “We want to show people that we think God gives us this radical, awesome life,” Dampier said. “So let’s just go throw water balloons.” “This year will be bigger and better,” Pauley said. CSF will mix things up this year so people who have been going the last three years won’t be bored, King said. “This is the best five minutes of organized chaos you will ever experience,” Dampier said. The water balloon fight will be at 11:55 p.m. Friday at Johnson Center Fields.

Comedy season kicks off with known performers Tom Hurley thurley@kykernel.com

The Cats Den Comedy Caravan kicked off Wednesday with Kevin McCaffrey and Mike Trainor.
Two ducks walked into a bar. Ouch. OK, that one was bad, but there were much better free jokes offered Wednesday night at the debut of the Cats Den’s Comedy Caravan. Students new and old squeezed into the Student Center venue for the visit of comedians Kevin McCaffrey and Mike Trainor. Both men brought the house down with their routines played in front of an audience that moments earlier sat in a recreation room full of pool tables and video games. After a quick dim of the lights, setting up of chairs and hush of the crowd, the room was transformed into a comedy store that wouldn’t look out of place in New York or Los Angeles. McCaffrey, who last visited the Cats Den in 2008, was delighted to be back in front of the UK masses. “It was great, it was a fun crowd,” he said of his performance. The Chicago native entertained with jokes talking about the complexities of tying a shoelace after weight gain to the awkwardness of carrying toilet paper through New York City — a city he knows well because of
his position as the writer for David Letterman’s Top Ten List. McCaffrey was followed on stage by Trainor, the face and voice of “World’s Dumbest Criminals” on TruTV. Trainor’s act was also a big hit with students, many of whom found it difficult to contain themselves during his risqué routine. “It was good, (I) had a lot of fun,” he said on his third show in Lexington this calendar year. “Early in the year shows are a good time. “Kevin did good, we tour together a lot, so it was nice.” The comedian appreciated having a break from his television work to tour with McCaffrey. “I sneak out, we’re between seasons right now so it was pretty easy to take a few days and travel around,” he said. Students were certainly glad he was able to wrestle himself away from his television commitments to visit campus. “It was quite hilarious,” Shang Sharpe, an undeclared freshman, said. He also got to attend the free show with new friends beneficial to the settling in period. “I’m still getting used to the campus atmosphere and I’ve never really been to shows like this so it’s really fun,” Sharpe
said. “I’m going to definitely be coming again.” The night even got under way with a short performance by one of UK’s own. Steve Pearce kicked off with a sample of his self-honed comedy routine, an act he’s been working on during his time as host of Comedy Caravan on Wednesdays. Pearce, an advertising major who graduated last Friday, was delighted to see another throng of students for the midweek event. “When I started the show, the average audience attendance was 74 people, tonight we had 172, last year we finished with an average of 149 which is just incredible,” he said. Pearce recommended any student interested in comedy try it out as he reflected on his stint as Comedy Caravan host, which drew to a close following his graduation. “It’s such a cool reality,” he said. “Just being on stage in general, getting to talk to people, especially making people laugh has just been awesome.” Students interested in comedy are invited to try out their own routines under the spotlight on the first open mic night of the year. The event takes place at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 5 at the Cats Den.
Don’t ignore the contributors to freshman weight gain You’re probably wary of it: the inescapable weight gain freshmen experience. While recent reports say it’s more like three pounds, any amount of weight gain should cause concern. Maybe you don’t mind a MARY few extra pounds, AUSTIN but the lifestyle supporting the Kernel columnist gain could really drag you down. Here are some tips that will not only help you fight the fat, but will also keep you sane through your first year on campus.
Learn to navigate dining halls
Either you’ve escaped mom’s cooking or you’re pining for it. Either way, you’re on your own for planning meals. If you don’t consider the healthiest options, you’ll wind up hungry at Commons with a plate of nachos on your tray. The nachos won’t kill you if you practice moderation and portion control, but it is true that one good decision leads to even better decisions.
Frequent the Johnson Center
You’re already paying to attend this state-of-the-art gym with great classes and a friendly environment. Take advantage of it. Ladies, you can hop on the elliptical and see some weight-lift-
ing eye candy on the floor below (no pressure, guys). With the pool, basketball court, track and rock-climbing wall, there really is something for everyone. For the less-than-dedicated types, joining a club sports team or taking a KHP class is a great way to stay committed.
Imbibe wisely
Alcohol? What’s that? Honestly though, you’ll thank yourself if you practice some restraint. Drinking makes you more likely to chow on some Cane’s and less likely to visit the gym. This all-powerful, new-best-friend serum is probably the crux of college weight gain. Watch out.
Sleep
When you are sleep deprived, your hunger hormones get out of whack and your metabolism isn’t up to its regular speed. Add in booze (the two are usually partners in crime), and you may see the number on the scale rise.
Practice time management
College beats high school because you have all this free time! Wait, is that why you’re up all night cramming at Willy T.? If you plan ahead, you can manage to: be mindful of your meals, burn some calories, have plenty of social time and get a solid night of sleep. Oh, and attend those classes you happen to be taking. Be creative with your time. The
trek from the dorms to campus can certainly count as physical activity, and snacks such as fruit or nuts can tide you over to lunch. If you need a break, by all means take it, but don’t blow away the afternoon on Pinterest.
Go easy on yourself
Don’t try to be perfect. Chances are, you’ve embraced some new habits that, if managed well in the long run, can be included in a healthy lifestyle. Five pounds isn’t the end of the world. And depending on your height and stature, 15 may not be bad either. Be proactive with your health routine and college weight gain won’t become a yearly struggle.

Randall Cobb – QB/WR/KR (2008-10) What couldn’t Randall Cobb do? In his days at UK, the athlete played quarterback, wide receiver and kick returner (all of which he excelled at).

Offspring release new album
LOS ANGELES — “Days Go By” is the first album since 2008 for The Offspring, and the title’s twilight tone makes you wonder what message is being transmitted from the skate park in Huntington Beach. Nostalgia for guitar solos? A lament for long-gone platinum sales? Or maybe just the end of summer school? Dexter Holland, lead singer of the Orange County pop-punk stalwarts, considers the question from the driver’s seat of a customized black van with leopard-print upholstery. As he drives toward the Huntington pier he explains that the theme is one of resilience and perseverance — a less-biblical message of “This too shall pass.” “I really struggled with the title and trying to find something that would wrap all this together with some cool, nifty title like (the Ramones classic) ‘Rocket to Russia,’” Holland said. “But everyone is going through hard times these days, and maybe it’s cheesy or naive, but I think it’s important to say, ‘Things are going to get better.’” Well, if not better, at least different. Holland, just four years shy of his 50th birthday, says a recurring conversation he has with generational peers is about the shifting ground beneath their feet. The band is doing well when measured against contemporary counterparts, but it’s not a pretty picture if you judge them against their own past — say, the pre-Napster days when CDs like “Smash” could spin platinum and gold. “Our sales might be down 90 percent, and that’s no exaggeration, but hey, we got luckier than any band, so I’m not moaning about it,” Holland said. “Everybody I talk to is saying, ‘I got to figure out what I do next. I saw a guy that used to run Epitaph Records in Europe, he just came to a show because we’re friends. I hadn’t seen him in 10 years, and I asked what he was doing, and he’s a wine distributor now.” Aging well is tricky in music, where ofthe-moment imperatives will always trump vintage thinking. The Offspring made its name with radio-ready punk pop (“Come Out and Play,” “Self Esteem,” “Gotta Get Away”) that sold 18 million albums in the U.S. and took it all over the world; it just returned, for instance, from a somewhat surreal Russian festival gig.
“I think (the promoters) might have been Russian mobsters,” Holland said, “and I’m not joking.” “Days Go By” is the band’s ninth album. “They say as time goes by time goes faster, and this year’s been a whirlwind because we were really trying to get the album done and we finished that in March, and then it even got more hectic,” Holland said. “Then it was shooting videos, doing photos, then a month in Europe doing festivals. ... It’s just one thing after another, but that’s great, we’re not complaining.” The new Offspring collection shows a restlessness that producer Bob Rock fostered, which allowed the band to do the straight-up rock of the title track but also, say, the intriguing reggae investigation of “OC Guns.” “People say, ‘Don’t you get sick of playing ‘Self Esteem’ and ‘Come Out and Play,’ and truthfully, you do, there’s a point after maybe 500 times where you get sick of it, but then after a couple hundred more times it becomes part of your DNA,” Holland said. “That’s where I am now. I enjoy it every time.” The band, since the 1980s, has included Holland on vocals, Kevin “Noodles” Wasserman on guitar and Greg Kriesel on bass. Since 2007, Pete Parada has been in the mix as the drummer. The Offspring got its start by being shut out from the Orange County punk scene (Holland and Kriesel were teammates on a high school cross-country team in 1984 when they couldn’t get tickets into a Social Distortion show and, sulking, pledged to start their own group), and credibility has always been elusive for a band that is more bratty than badass. The class-clown spirit (and the leopardskin upholstery) are hard to miss in “Cruisin’ California (Bumpin’ In My Trunk),” the new single that is a sonic spitball — it starts with a Ramones wink, veers into LMFAO ludicrousness and seems to have some Katy Perry bounce in the background. Holland and company assumed people would hear a spiritual sequel to “Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)” or “Why Don’t You Get a Job,” but instead they got slapped by fans who missed the punch line. Holland shrugged it off. The Offspring is used to haters. MCT
